New poll skewed to the wingnuts

Heh. WE'RE the wingnuts; let a buncha loons loose in D.C. and somehow the MSM finds a way to take a poll to make US like like wingnuts. Huh.Beware.

In his Daily Beast piece on the "scary" survey, Avlon writes: "This poll is the latest and most detailed evidence of the extent to which Wingnuts are hijacking our politics." In a way, perhaps that's true--but inasmuch as the poll is magnifying the importance of "wingnut" ideas, it is an example, rather than a reflection, of such hijacking.

And for whose benefit? The Democratic Congress has just enacted legislation vastly expanding government, in a manner so ugly and so heedless of public opinion that critics are arguing that it lacks political legitimacy. In response to that criticism, Democrats have sought to delegitimize Republicans by suggesting that they are racists, that they support political violence--and that they believe crazy things about President Obama.
